Assault victim told court how she met her attacker in a Listowel disco

IN her evidence, the victim told the court how she met Foley in a Listowel disco after she had been socialising with friends in the town earlier that night.

Foley told her he was celebrating his birthday, she gave him a hug, they talked for a few minutes and he offered to buy her a drink. She said she wanted a WKD, but he insisted on buying shots and bought her a Black Russian.

She felt her mouth was “on fire” after drinking the shot. She told him she needed another drink and he got her a WKD.
